Facilities Update

Statement by John Maduko, M.D., President, CT State Community College

CT Board of Regents

Dec. 15, 2022

Professors Freeman and Van Dermark, thank you for your advocacy regarding the challenges at Asnuntuck Community College. To start, I want to clarify that CT State and our legacy community colleges prioritize the safety and health of our students, employees, and visitors. We leverage all available resources and personnel to expedite the facility, HVAC, and safety needs. When our students and employees are in need, we drop everything to identify and assess the problem, determine the solutions, mobilize personnel, secure funding to support the work, and, in partnership with our employees and students, ensure our communication is clear, accurate, timely, and empathetic to the needs of our community.

I was on the Asnuntuck campus earlier in the week to attend its all-campus meeting and I met with union and shared governance representatives, and faculty and staff. I acknowledged the pain, frustration, and demands for stability. I thanked them for not mincing words with me.

I support the leadership and efforts of Asnuntuck’s CEO, Dr. Michelle Coach. In partnership with Dr. Coach, the CT State central office, and Keith Epstein, CSCU’s Vice President for Facilities, Real Estate & Infrastructure Planning — this is our focus.

Effective immediately, CT State approved Asnuntuck Community College to hire an HVAC staff person to provide expertise and capacity. In the meantime, we have secured a new vendor, Beacon, to provide service to Asnuntuck’s HVAC systems. The vendor will have a contractor on-site to address any HVAC issues. We are also working with the Connecticut Dept. of Construction Services to contract with an engineer to assess all mechanical systems: HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Suppression.

Dr. Coach and CT State’s central administration have had ongoing discussions to bring on these resources in recognition of the concerns voiced by our employees. We have invested approximately $2 million to correct mold and mildew issues within the HVAC system. There is currently $700,000 of additional equipment on order, with another $300,000 investment planned to resolve the problems in the boiler room and gas odors in the welding lab.

In addition, my expectations for ACC are: weekly updates to the campus community on all progress; establishment of an online repository to share all updates/inspection reports/repairs/installations to the public; and that all external vendors will check in with campus administration. Their work will be monitored to verify progress and to enable contingency planning to ensure instructional and student support is not disrupted.

To our Asnuntuck students, you represent our “Why,” and your education, training, and support are paramount to all members of our community colleges. Your faculty and staff and everyone across this system care about you. ACC Campus staff and faculty will ensure students can complete their outstanding assignments, projects, and competency assessments to avoid a negative impact on pending employment opportunities.

The dogs will be trained in vacant areas of the building, away from any students or employees. Training will move to Thursday evenings for the next 6 weeks, and then determination will be made for training locations not to conflict with the start of Fall classes.

Hello everyone,

Around 11:00am, an accidental oil/coolant leak occurred from our Mazak 5-Axis CNC machine in room 428 of Building 2.  The approximate area affected was 30 X 30 sq ft and estimated to be about 40 gallons.  Our facilities crew quickly responded to the situation to minimize the spread of the coolant.  Manufacturing personnel assisted with the situation and are helping to get the area operational. Thank you to both our facilities crew and manufacturing personnel for their quick action.

We have a crew from Innovative Environmental arriving on site at 8:00pm tonight to complete the cleanup. They will be finished by 2:00am. There will be a crew on site in the morning to address any additional leakage from under the machine.  We hope to be operational in room 428 for classes tomorrow morning.

Hello Asnuntuck employees,

We are in the final planning stage of the preventative maintenance Boiler Project that will occur during Thanksgiving week. We are thankful this work could be done during a holiday week, when it will be less disruptive to our students, faculty, and staff.  As always, we want to provide the best educational experience possible, and this preventative maintenance will help facilitate that—where teaching and learning take place without concern for temperature or other facility issues.

Questions and Responses about the HVAC Project:

What is the status of the glycol in the pipes within the restricted area in Building 1 during the week of Thanksgiving?   

On Friday afternoon, 11/17/2023, after 3:00pm, Clearwater Industries will arrive and begin adding cleaning chemicals to circulate in the heating pipes over the weekend.  This work will not affect the time we close the building on 11/17/2023.

Then, on Sunday morning, 11/19/2023, Clearwater Industries will bring a tanker to campus to drain the existing water-glycol mix and pipe-cleaning chemicals and simultaneously add fresh water to our system. New glycol will not be added to the system at that time. The system will then contain fresh water and sediment from our aging piping, and the sediment will be filtered out during Thanksgiving week.

Why will access to areas of Building 1 be restricted?   

Access is being restricted to avoid potential disruption and displacement of classes and offices because of the possibility of pipe leaks. With no occupants in these areas, contractors will be able to respond faster to repair piping and clean-up any fresh water, if leaks occur. The doors to classrooms and offices will be unlocked and open to facilitate continuous monitoring. These doors are typically locked for security purposes to limit access. We do not want students, employees, and community members to have open access to these offices and classrooms. Only authorized personnel will have access to inspect each restricted area for water leaks throughout each day.  Also, we ask that you clean your offices before Friday, 11/17/2023, so we can easily view the areas each day throughout the week.  Please secure all confidential documents. Do not leave any boxes on the floor.

Where will my classroom or workspace be located during Thanksgiving week?  

The plan is finalized, and on Monday/Tuesday, information will be shared with faculty, students, and staff on location details and accommodations for those choosing to be on campus that week. Each individual or group will receive a personalized email. We thank you for submitting your intention for working either remotely or on-campus that week. This has helped with the planning process.

An email was sent today, Friday, 11/10/2023, to our Asnuntuck students in preparation for the work being done. If you are an instructor and plan to teach on-campus that week, please contact your students with the details of your room assignments for Monday, 11/20/2023, and Tuesday, 11/21/2023, as soon as you receive them.

Will it be safe to be in Building 1 during Thanksgiving week?  

Details of the project plan, which was carefully developed by the project team with input from several groups on campus – as well as Safety Data Sheets and recommendations from our Consultant Industrial Hygienist at Atlas Testing Company – are attached here and are available on our website: Facilities Update – CT State Asnuntuck  Designated areas in Building 1, along with Building 2, will remain in normal operation and will be unaffected by the project work.

Will copiers and printers be available? 

Yes. The IT Department will make copiers/printers and enclave printers available during Thanksgiving week to be convenient and accessible to staff working in designated areas in both buildings.

Will Liberty Café be open Thanksgiving week? 

The Café may be open on Monday and Tuesday only. We are awaiting final confirmation from the Café. Information will be shared as soon as it is available. If the Café is open, please know that the Café will only be accessible from the main entrance of Building 1. Please note, you will not be able to walk through Building 1 to get to the Café, Manufacturing, or Building 2.

What building entrances will my employee ID card work on?

That week, the only exterior doors your employee ID card will give access to will be the main entrance of Building 1, the main entrance to Building 2, and an exterior door from the Southwest Parking Lot that leads directly into the cubicle area of Manufacturing Room 139. Your employee ID card will not open the employee entrance door by the Maintenance Office or the exterior door at the Southwest entrance because those are restricted areas.  Only Cosmetology student ID cards will work on the Southwest entrance on Monday, 11/20/2023, to access their class, which will be held in Room 144.

Is the college closed on Friday, Nov 24? 

There are no classes in session, and only a couple of employees are working remotely. Thus, the building will not be open.

Will the vending machines and restrooms be available in the Southwest Lobby during Thanksgiving week?

No. The Southwest Lobby, located toward the back of Building 1, will be a restricted area during Thanksgiving week. The vending machines are being temporarily moved and will not be accessible. Please plan to bring your own snacks and beverages.

 Pending Questions and Responses About the Glycol Project: 

What is the status of the glycol in the pipes within the restricted area in Building 1 during the week of Thanksgiving? 

Clearwater Industries will bring a tanker to campus to remove the current glycol and pipe-cleaning chemicals from our system on Sunday morning, 11/19/2023. At that time, Clearwater will simultaneously replace glycol with fresh water. New glycol will not be added to our system at that time. Our system will contain water and sediment from our aging piping, and the sediment will be filtered out during the week of Thanksgiving.

 Why will access to areas of Building 1 be restricted? 

Access is being restricted to avoid potential disruption and displacement of classes and offices in the event of a leak. With no occupants in these areas, contractors will be able to respond faster to patch and repair piping and clean-up any water, if leaks occur. Continuous monitoring for possible leaks in the pipes will occur for all offices and classrooms within the restricted areas in Building 1.

Hello Campus Community,

This weekly communication to the Asnuntuck community shares the latest information on facilities improvements.

A list of scheduled and completed work is detailed below. Please let me know if you have any questions.

ACC Website (asnuntuck.edu): 

Reports will be uploaded to the ACC website (Facilities Update – Asnuntuck Community College) as they become available.

• Atlas One Reports from 4/24/2023 , 4/24/2023_002, and 04/27/2023.
• Shaffer Beacon Mechanical Report for boiler

Reporting Problems: 

To be responsive and provide immediate attention to concerns as they arise, immediately follow these steps if you experience any facility concerns, odors, or disruptions:

1. Contact security (dial “0” on a campus phone).
2. Contact your dean, the CEO, or a member of the campus leadership.
3. Notify maintenance by sending an email to: AS-Maint-Request@acc.commnet.edu). This email address sends a message to eight different maintenance department members, including the maintenance supervisor.  It is a ticketing system that provides documentation for all maintenance services.
